Note that if a publisher or author gives away books for free, but requires people to sign up to their website, the book is not free, but traded for sharing whatever information about me they gather in the process

Curious, what information do they ask for that is not already availlable that will give them an advantage?
In my world (Canada) when you sign up for anything, you have to give information. Bank account, credit card, utilities, they all want to know who you are.
In general the information is available from the phone book.
Even when ordering from the states, no one has asked me who I work for, DOB, my salary, Government ID, or anything that is personal.
Just curious as to what information they are asking for that is not public record.
